How dare you, you're talking about my namesake !! You're not wrong though, the Moodies were famous for their parties, in which copious amounts of illegal substances were consumed. They were also great friends with Timothy Leary, who was a strong advocate of psychedelic substances.
Many of their songs had barely concealed references to drug use, such as Fly Me High, Floating and Higher and Higher.
